Colour
With the help of an animal expert, Harrison finds out how chameleons change colour and viewers find out if they're lion sighted in a colour blindness test. A physicist explains why there are some colours that we can't see, and viewers get a bug's eye view of the world in order to discover how bugs see things that are invisible to humans! Harrison carries out an experiment to see if kids will turn their noses up at a batch of blue scrambled eggs!
Episode 2 • Jan 26, 2012
Insects
Harrison visits an entomologist who explains to him how insects that eat insects can replace the poison farmers use to keep bad bugs away from their crops. Harrison is joined by a biologist who puts on a fascinating show and tell with all kinds of live bugs. He then puts school kids to the test by asking them to eat everyday products that most of us don't realize contain...you guessed it...bugs!

Moon
Harrison investigates intriguing facts about the moon, like why people think wolves howl at the moon (they don't), whether the moon really turns people into werewolves, who the first men on the moon were and why the moon appears to follow us. Viewers at home test out their jumping skills as Harrison demonstrates where we'd be without gravity! MY GREAT CHALLENGE: Using nothing more than a light, their wits, and funny headgear, challengers must figure out why the moon is sometimes full and why at times, it disappears! IN THE FIELD: Harrison goes to...the Moon! Okay, maybe not the actual moon, but a simulated moonscape created by the Space Agency, where astronauts practice their extraterrestrial techniques and test out new equipment. There, a lunar geologist provides the answers to more kid questions, explaining how the Moon was formed and why there are craters.
Episode 4 • Feb 16, 2012

My Great Challenge: Harrison tests school kids by seeing who among them can get their hands the cleanest.
